Pretty amazing DJ let him give up 5 his before he pulled him. This dude is as bad as expected

 

 

He was awful, the Phillies were mounting a comeback on this guy. Didn't make things better when Dunn came in, but he got out of it.

 

All things aside, you gotta hope that Wittgren is one of the next to be called up. They are running out of people to call up.

I'm beginning to feel we're more likely to see Chuck Hernandez called to the mound than Wittgren.

 

 

What's the scouting report on Wittgren's stuff? He's more of a command pitcher than a power guy, right?

correct...low/mid 90s with a + slider.

yeah weird decision by a normally great baseball mind.

 

 

 

So I didn't get to watch/listen to the inning McGough "pitched" yesterday. Is his name "Mc-Go" or "Mc Guff"

 

Like, should I say "Scott McNo" or "Scott McRough"...

 

 

Well that's a nice statement. Hey, here's a thought. Maybe you shouldn't comment on Wittgren if you haven't actually followed any of his minor league career.

 

His numbers have warranted a call up since May. He deserves a call up well before the AAAA players who shouldn't have any legitimate shot of making a major league bullpen next season.

 

This isn't stat "nerds" (which is an awful phrase in and of itself), it's people who actually pay attention to the team and want the best players getting opportunities at the big league level seeing garbage players get opportunities before a player who actually has a legitimate future in a major league bullpen (and imo a closer at that).

 

I have a feeling Wittgren is coming up as a September call up, which is fine given the season's a wash anyway. But there's legitimate reason for people to make jokes every time somebody gets the call over Wittgren. He's a college tested closer with 200+ IP under his belt, a 2.23 ERA and a stellar season this year. There's a reason he gets some hype. He's pretty good.

 

 Don't take anything i say seriously. I actually agree with you.
